Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Vienna — Berlin

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Vienna - Berlin

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Vienna - Berlin flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 547 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Vienna - Berlin is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Vienna International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vienna airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Vienna - Berlin trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Vienna airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Vienna International Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Vienna International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The amicable route with Lufthansa Cargo to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Lufthansa Cargo website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Lufthansa Cargo sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Vienna can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Vienna - Berlin line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Lufthansa Cargo convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
